Default RE: UPDATE: Traded Trykon for a Bowtech

its fast enough to make me tell my buddy he bought a lemon according to a Bowtech National Pro Staffer [X(]
Hmmm... Didn't know that buckeye had joined the National Pro Staff! I guess "Congratulations" are in order, Scott!

Duc, according to the owner's manual, one full 360-degree turn on both limb bolts equals 2-5 lbs. depending on the bow. I've found that a full turn on mine adjusts the weight almost five pounds. BowTech recommends not turning the limb bolts more than 2-1/2 360-degree turns.

Realistic numbers I've seen say that for every 5 lbs. of draw weight you go down, you'll lose 10 fps. Therefore, if the Tryk was shooting 281 at 65, it's more realistic to think it would do 291 at 70 with his setup. But bottom line is that duc likes the bow better, irrespective of speeds.

(To tell you the truth Diesel, I was just trying to razz hardcorehunter a bit with that comment [8D]I figure he's been lurking around this thread for a while )
